""I always say they're literally eternal. They're cool and sexy, and everybody is intrigued by the thought of living forever. They're just something that we all could kind of relate to - it's that piece of mortality that feels so daunting. Like, 'What if that was lifted from my shoulders?'""
"Sharpe spent more than a decade as a nurse and nurse practitioner before deciding to step away from the field - a move motivated by the burnout many health care workers endure, but also because she loved writing and performing."
Carey Renee Sharpe's Halloween party in 2019 led to the creation of Blood/Love, a vampire pop-rock opera co-written with Dru DeCaro. The show features Sharpe as Valerie, the first vampire, who encounters a guitarist seeking fame. The opera reflects the enduring fascination with vampires in pop culture, as seen in recent adaptations like Interview With the Vampire and The Lost Boys. Sharpe, a former nurse, transitioned to music, finding fulfillment in writing and performing through this project.
